Patented Mar. 17, 1936 PATENT OFFICE APPARATUS FOR REMOVING F SOLID OR LIQUID PARTICLES VAPORS FROM GASES 0B Eugen Haber, Berlin, Germany Application June 8, 1932, Serial No. 815,683

This invention relates to an arrangement for removing solid or liquid particles from gases or steam, which divides the gases or steam into two part flows, namely a large flow, which is completely or partly freed from the foreign bodies contained in the medium and a small flow, the contents of foreign bodies of which is enriched by a corresponding amount. Such arrangements have for their object, to concentrate the solid or liquid particles contained in the gases in a relatively small gas or steam quantity. The flnal removing of the solid or liquid particles from this small quantity of the gases or steam can then be effected in separating devices, which can be of small dimensions corresponding to the quantity of the medium.

Several of the embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 shows in side elevation a form of construction of the separating unit,

Fig. 2 is a part longitudinal section showing an induced draught plant with arrangement for removing flue dust, and

Fig. 3 is a part longitudinal section showing an induced draught plant with arrangements for removing flue dust on the suction side of the blower.

The separating device shown in Fig. 1 comprises sleeves 23 that are successively of smaller size towards the end of the separator. The medium to be cleansed is supplied in the direction of the arrow 2I through a conduit 22 into a sleeve element composed of a plurality of said sleeves 23 of successively decreasing size towards the end of the separator. A conduit 24 extends from the last sleeve, through which conduit the remaining quantity of medium enriched in foreign bodies is lead ofi in the direction of the arrow 25. The cleansed gases in this separating device pass out through the slots between the sleeves 23.

Fig. 2 shows an induced draught plant with arrangement for separating flue dust from fiue gases. The flue gases flow from the main flue I2I into the lower portion of the chimney I22 which is shutoff from the upper portion of the chimney by registers I23. The flue gases are sucked from this point by a blower I25 through a pipe I24 and forced into an elbow I26, which conducts the flue gases into a separator I21, which consists of a set of conical sleeves I28 placed one in the other. The purified flue gases flow between these sleeves into the chimney, whereas a remaining quantity enriched with flue dust and coke dust is conducted through a con- Germany June 12, 1931 2 Claims. (01. 183-25) duit I29 extending from the separator into a set tling chamber I30. In this chamber I30 the dust carried along by the gases settles and is discharged through the mouth I32 of the chamber with the aid of a discharging device I3I. In the roof of the chamber I30 apertures I33 are provided through which the chamber communicates v with the main flue I2l. Rotatable registers I34 are arranged in these apertures. The gases, liberated after depositing the dust in the chamber I30, return into the conduit for the freshly .arriving polluted, gases in order to again be fed therewith to the separator. The vertical arrangement of the separator according to Fig. 2 presents the advantage that the particles of ash contained in the flue gases settle by gravity in the bottom end of the separator. A considerable speed is imparted to the flue gases by the blower I25, whereby the separating effect in the separator is improved.

Fig. 3 shows an induced draught plant with arrangement for removing the flue dust, wherein the separator is'arranged on the suction side of the blower. In this instance, the flue gases flow from the main flue I1I, into the lower portion of the chimney in the direction of the arrow I12. This chimney is subdivided into two compartments I14 and I15 by a partition I13. The gases flowing out from the main flue I1I first arrive in the chamber I14, which is closed at the top by an oscillatable register I18. From this compartment the flue gases flow in the direction of the arrow I11 into the conduit I18 connected 'thereto and thence into the vertical separator I19. This separator is again composed of a set of conical sleeves placed one in the other with clearance. The cleansed'gases flow through the slots between the sleeves in the direction of the arrow I88 into the chimney portion I8 I When the separator is operated, this portion of the chimney is closed at the top by an oscillatable register I82. From this space I8I the cleansed flue gases are drawn through the compartment I15 in the direction of the arrow I83 into a pipe connection I84 by means of a blower I85. The blower forces the cleansed flue gases in the direction of the arrow I86 into a conduit I81 and thence into the upper portion I89 of the chimney in the direction of the arrow I88. When the separator is operated, the compartment I15 in the lower end of the chimney is closed at the bottom by an oscillatable register I90. A quantity of flue gas containing a large percentage of dust passes from the lower end of the separator into a conduit I 9I connected thereto and is drawn therefrom in the direction of the arrow I92 by means or a blower I99. The blower I89 forces the quantity of flue gas containing a large percentage 01' dust through a conduit I94 into a chamber I96 in the direction of the arrow I 95. The dust settles in this chamber I98 and is drawnfofl by means of a drawing-oil or discharging device I91. The quantity of flue gas liberated during the settling of the dust flowsfrom the upper portion of the chamber through apertures I98 in the roof of the chamber and returns into the main flue III in the direction of the arrow I 99. The apertures I98 are regulated by adjustable registers 200. By mutually regulating the running speeds of the blowers I85 and I 93 the desired proportion between the quantities or gas divided in the separator can be attained. The quantity of cleansed gas passing out between the cones of the separator will be the greater the higher the revolving speed 01' the blower I85 is and the lower the revolving speed of the blower I 93 is and inversely.

It is believed in view of the foregoing that a further detailed description of the invention is unnecessary. Likewise it is believed that the advantages of the invention have been fully set forth.

Having thus fully described the invention what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:

1. An arrangement for removing solid and liquid particles from gases by means of a conduit tapering toward its end and provided with wall apertures, said conduit composed of a set of conical sleeves inserted one in the other with clearance between the individual sleeves, said sleeves being of rradually smaller diameter towards the end of the conduit. and adapted to deflect the main portion or the gas in cleansed condition through the apertures and to deliver from the end or the conduit the remaining portion of gas enriched with the impurities from the cleansed portion, a supply conduit adapted to convey the medium to be cleansed to said tapering conduit, an intermediate conduit extending from the narrow end of said tapering conduit, a settling chamber at the other end of said intermediate conduit commimicatlng with said supply conduit and registers in the roof of said settling chamber adapted to shut off said settling chamber.

2. An arrangement for removing solid and liquid particles from gases by means 01' a conduit tapering toward its end and provided with wall apertures, said conduit composed 01' a set of conical sleeves inserted one in the other with clearance between the individual sleeves, said sleeves being of gradually smaller diameter towards the end of the conduit, and adapted to deflect the main portion of the gas in cleansed condition through the apertures and to deliver from the end of the conduit the remaining portion of gas enriched with the impurities from the cleansed portion, a blower with its suction side towards said tapering conduit, a connecting conduit extending from the narrow end of said tapering conduit and a second blower connected at its suction side to said connecting conduit adapted to draw off the portion of the medium enriched with impurities.
